FIRE ON THE RIVER FRONT
A NORTH RIVER PIER IN NEW YORK
DEsTROTED.

TO their Friends Attacked by Flames
A Foolish Suspicion that STRIKERS
Started the Fire-A Loss Of $4,000
NEW YORK, Jan. pa fire broke out
tits afternoon on the Cornell Line pier Ne.
8, North River, and in less than an hour
the whole structure and its contents were
destroyed. When the engines got to the
scene the whole pier was one mass Of
flames. The fire was first seen in stack
OF cotton bales in the centre of the dock.
and the rapidity with which the flames
spread barely gave the dock hands time to
escape. Alongside the pier lay the sLou-
isiana," which was just ready to sail, and
on her decks were passengers waving
adieus to their friends on the shore.
/ On the other side of the dock was
the steamer New Orleans. Both
vessels were towed OUT to mid-streaua.
| The passengers on the Louisiana were
taken off by police officers on the dock
who were protecting the non-union
workmen. The vessels upper joiner works
were in flames while The passengers were
being passed down the side. When the
Louisiana was turned out into the stream.
she flames extinguished. She will be
ready to sail as soon as repairs are com
pleted There were 2, $50 bales Of cotton
piled up on tns dock besides quantity
of other freight ready for shipment. Many
bales of cotton and barrels of sugar etc.,
were rolled off the dock before the fire was
able TO reach them. In a short time 1t
was seen that the pier could not be saved
and portion of the fire department bent
their efforts to save the adjoining piers.
The Long Branch pier caught fire several
times owing to the flames being carried
that way by the wind. Pier 10 on the
North side escaped with screening to its
paint, and SO did the houses on West
street opposite the dock. TWAS reported
that the fire was started by strikers but the
police deny this. The police estimate the
damage all told to be about $50, 600. The
cause of the fire and the assurances are
not known.

OF course it will be understood that the
oil companies idleness is due to their ina
bility to get coal to keep them in full oper-
alton. The tobacco works figures are
based on the assumption that 800 to 1000
of the strikers have gone back to work
which the strikers deny. These figures do
not include the Monarch line or the Thing
valia or Wilson lines of steamers At the
Tbingvalia and Wilson lines men are taken
on in small numbers only as wanted The
Monarch line steamers are in the custody
of Sheriff Heintza. and their business is
done with the aid of chartered sstramp"
vessels. At the Bremen and Hamburg
docks in Hoboken the agent said that only
aon- union men are employed there, and
that they have had no trouble at all.
The reporters found work progressing
as rapidly at the several ccal docks as the
want of skill of the green hands would
permit. The 1ongshoremens strike was
not permitted to intefere largely with the
progress of business at the steamship
docks. The strikers on all sides were be-
having themselves with magnificent self
possession There was no over-indulgence
of liquor which idleness is apt to lead to
among them and they were all quiet and

success.
At the Wilson Line pier in Hoboken,
everything is as ssquiet as graveyard, to
use the expression of the gentleman in
charge of the pier. No work of any ac-
count has been done there since last
Thursday, when the 'ioEgshoremer struck.
1t is not expected that any more vessels
will be loaded or unioaded at the pier I'M
til the strike Is ended, and such work is
now being done at the pier foot of Oath
street in New York. An attempt was made
yesterday to load the schooner Benjamin
f. Terry with cargo of old iron, but the
non-uDion man, who were sent from New
York to do the work, got drunk, and oper-
atoms were necessarily suspended. The
schooner was lying at the pier yesterday
only partly loaded. No men were ever
regularly employed at the Wilson pier.
At the ThingYalia pier in Hoboken over
thirty non-union men were at work yester-
| day. The majority of the men we're sent
from New York, but there were some Ho-
boken men among them also. The men
are being trained, and the Superintendent
said that the strike will not affect them
greatly. The only trouble experienced Sc
| far at this pier is that vessels which should
| sail next Tuesday will not be ready until
Friday. A steamer is expected to arrive
next week, and the Superintendent ex-
presses the belief that it will be loaded and
sent away with little delay.
The steamer Penland Of the Red Star
line sailed tor London yesterday with a full
cargo and the mail. About the same time
the Inman steamer City of Chicago arrived
in port Sue viii be unloaded tomorrow.
The W. A Seholten of the Rotterdam line
is at her dock unloading. Her cargo will
probably be all unloaded in day or two.

MIR. sToDDAHDs WEDDING.
The Rector of st. Johns Church About
TO Marry Again.

The announcement which has been made
to his friends that Rev. E. L. Stoddard,
rector of st. Johns Episcopal Church on
Summit Avenue, has engaged himself in
marriage to Miss Clara Bumsted is the one
topic talked of in church circles on the
Heights. Four years ago Mr.. Stoddard's
first wife met her death by tragic acct
dent at his home on Summit Avenue. She
left son--a lttleboy. Mr. Stoddard has
since resided on Summit Avenue with
assistant rector Sterling and his amiable
wife as his companions. The church of
which Rev, Mr.. Stoddard is the rector is
the most fashionable church in the city,
and it is said that a larger number of
wealthy men worship at its altar than at
the altar of any other of the city
churches The rector himself is thirty
eight, possibly forty years of age. He
is slim of build, pale in face,
but has clean cut, intellectual features;
and wonderful grey eye. He is pleas
ant preacher, and in private conversation
one of the most engaging of companions.
Miss Clara Bumsted to whom he engaged
himself in marriage two weeks ago, is the
eldest daughter of the late William Bum
sted. She has pleasant and an attractive
face but would not be called pretty. She
is brunette with brown eyes and black
hair. She has been very attentive to
church work, and for some years has been
organist of the Sunday school. She is
probably thirty years of age. The precise
date for the wedding has not been fixed,
but it is understood that it will be solemn
lied in one of the summer months.

\ chance to Buy Seaside Property in
 

An exceptional opportunity is offered for the purchase of the most beautifully located single piece of shore property in Woodmont. It has over 500 feet of shore front and is a fine place for a summer home and is only twenty-three minutes ride from this city. This location is very popular and growing fast. There are now sixty cottages in the vicinity, all built in the last few years. More than one-half of the shore front is already occupied. When the new road around the Ames place is built it will be one of the lovelest drives out of New Haven. This property offered for sale was bonded by the West Shore Improvement company for $25, 900. The owner being in other business offers it for sale. There has been big boom in shore property at Woodmont and of the sixty cottages many are owned by persons of prominence in banking, mercantile and high social circles in the Naugatuck valley, and New Haven is also we'll represented. There is no more attractive or desirable spot along the coast for summer cottages. It is quite probable that before autumn & fine hotel will be erected near Woodmont's shore at Mer- wins Point, and as real estate investment the opportunity is an excellent one. For particulars see advertisement.
